We had a bright orange magic box that was connected to a beige windows 95 box that you were never allowed to turn off because nobody knew if it would survive a reboot and there was no software for the orange box for a more modern setup. Almost felt an like arcane ritual, typing in the command lines to get it to work.

Probably plugged into some sort of UPS or the building has backup power.

Could honestly try a virtual machine or an emulator at that point. Would be worth a shot.

My workplace was still using DOS machines (386s) in 2015 to format letters. It couldn’t be emulated as the critical component was an ISA card

One of the pieces of work I worked on was diverting the data stream aimed at that letter system and translating it to go via our more modern correspondence system
